Latrine in Unknown Townland

Latrine

What is recorded here

Exchange Street Lower in County Dublin still covers a medieval latrine, though no surface trace remains. The Friends of Medieval Dublin Map placed the privy there in 1978, preserving a function the pavement has forgotten. Under the modern town, human waste and daily urgency once shaped the neighbourhood.
